Supports procedural success in most patients; leaves open durability and need for controlled trials.
Does transarterial plastic repair under hypothermia abolish the systolic pressure gradient in patients with congenital valvular pulmonary stenosis?
Transarterial plastic repair of congenital valvular pulmonary stenosis under hypothermia effectively abolishes the right ventricle to pulmonary artery systolic pressure gradient in the majority of patients.
Blount et al. (1957) studied this question.
